I am writing a collaborative document in which each author
edits a main.tex file and provides a <author>.bib file (no \include, no \input ... I know it's not the ideal choice but it was not my decision).

What we are having issues with is that we can't manage to have multiple bibliographies at the end of each chapter (chapterbib requires to use \include, it mention something in the manual to have a single file, but it is not very clear to me how to do it)

The answer is pretty straightforward when using the biblatex package.
It is somehow compatible with natbib, but if you can ditch it all together, it is even better.

With biblatex you can list different bib files to your latex document and assign them to specific section considered for the separate bibliographies (refsections in biblatex terms) with \addbibresource[]{}

Damn, you were faster with very same idea:) Why didn't you put \chapter inside refsection?

What is your LaTeX distribution and what backend do you use? I've tried it with MikTeX 2.9 full and biber.

I use texlive shipping with Ubuntu and have no idea what a backend is :)

Firstly, what is the version of your Ubuntu. Secondly, BibLaTeX backend is program that creates your citation list. It is BibTeX or biber. When using BibLaTeX you compile your .tex file with (pdf)latex and then you compile it with backend to create citation database which is used in next latex run.
